Evolutionary conserved microRNAs are ubiquitously expressed compared to tick-specific miRNAs in the cattle tick <it>Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that act as regulators of gene expression in eukaryotes modulating a large diversity of biological processes. The discovery of miRNAs has provided new opportunities to understand the biolo...
